From 1910 until 1954 Thomas Percy Kirkpatrick (1869-1954) served as the registrar for the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. He also served as the general secretary of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland. He took a particular interest in what were then termed venereal diseases; to encourage his patients (many of whom were prostitutes) to attend, he held a clinic for women at a discreet early morning hour to facilitate anonymity. Charles Molyneaux Benson (1877-1919) was a registered fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. In 1916 he was working in Sir Patrick Dunn's Hospital.

 5th FEBRUARY 17. C.M. Benson, Esq., M.D., Secretary of Council, R.C.S.I. Re College of Nursing Conference Committee. Dear Sir, I am directed by the President and Fellows of this College to forward you a copy of the following resolution adopted at a meeting of the College held on Friday the 2nd instant : Resolved : "that the Conference Committee be requested to submit to the Colleges a scheme for the promotion of the uniformity of the curriculum and the training of Irish Nurses, either in the connection with, or independent of, the British College of Nursing, whichever may seem to the Committee the more desirable course to adopt. The Royal College of Physicians are most anxious that such a scheme should have the approval of Irish Nurses and in view of this the President and Fellows would suggest to the Committee the advisableness of consulting with Irish Nursing authorities on the matter." I am, Yours faithfully, Fellow & Registrar.
